VLC Extension

Some camera integrations require installation of VLC Extension files into the Patriot client installation directory.

If the extension is not installed, the operator will be prompted to download + install it automatically when first required, however it can also be installed in advance.

Installation Instructions

After downloading the extension installer, simply run it and ensure the destination folder is set to the Patriot client installation folder. This is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Patriot Systems\Patriot Version 6 Client

This step needs to be repeated on each workstation that will be viewing cameras.

Use Dedicated Process settings

In Workstation Settings > Client Cameras, the Use Dedicated Process option (visible only if a supported camera module like RTSPCamera is registered) enables the selected camera type to run in a dedicated x64 process.

You must have v3.9.2.0 or higher of the VLC extension installed to use this setting.

Currently supports the RTSP Camera type. More camera types will be added in future updates.
